Ingredients

Servings
  • 30 phyllo dough 2 boxes, 15 count each, defrosted, Athens mini shells
  • ½ cup vegetable broth low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion diced, small
  • cup pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling, canned
  • 1 chipotle pepper seeded & diced
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle pepper can
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin ground
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Arrange the mini fillo shells on a baking sheet.
